Gateway to the Nordic countries, eastern Europe and Africa
This orbital slot provides access to the fast-growing digital TV and broadband markets in Nordic countries, eastern Europe and sub-Saharan Africa.
Over 460 TV, radio and interactive channels - including 6 HD stations - are broadcast to over 21 million DTH/SMATV and cable homes in 12 Nordic and eastern European countries.
Digital TV and broadband coverage for Europe and Africa
We also provide cable distribution to head-ends, contribution links and ground services, as well as broadband capacity and software updates for set-top boxes.
Our sister company, SIRIUS, is the DTH and SMATV market leader in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania; and our consumers are exclusively digital households.
The most powerful sub-Saharan satellite coverage
We provide DTH coverage to many African markets with a dedicated Ku-band beam from a single orbital position, eliminating the need for dual illumination from separate beams.
ASTRA 4A offers uplink and downlink facilities in the African footprint, and inter-connectivity between Africa and Europe. This means DTH broadcasting from Europe without the need for expensive fibre links.
